The report docs include a summary of interviews which were conducted with over 100 femal students. O f the students interviewed, the majority “indicated they planned to marry and planned to work after marriage.” Thirty-seven percent felt that they had been discriminated against because o f their sex.

We seriously doubt that this racial and sexual imbalance is due to any kind of sinister plot, or to racism or sexism on the part o f the College. Obviously, however, the College has been “ insensitive” to the problems. The administration and the faculty hiring committes have found it more convenient to hire while males simply because while males are easier to find. The Lanthom feels that action by the College is long overdue on this issue, and we agree with the women’s report that the first step should be the creation o f a task force.
